Earthquakes are not uncommon in the foothills of the Himalayas. But
nobody can predict exactly when or where they will happen, so each
one is a surprise. And then people have to respond quickly. They
need to map out where the earthquake struck; get damage and
casualty reports; and deliver people and aid supplies in a useful and
timely manner. The screenshot below shows the supply chain set up
to deliver aid supplies to Kathmandu, Nepal after an earthquake in
2015. Aid supplies arrived from three global depots where aid
supplies had been stockpiled to be available for emergencies such as
this. Imagine you are the person in charge of logistics for
this mission. How will you manage this supply chain to support the
mission?
